Castaic held near 50 percent of capacity, and water temperatures have been in the upper fifties. The bass bite has continued to improve with the warmer weather. Anglers used a variety of finesse baits for bites, but Carolina rigged Ice Picks, Ned rigs, and Green Pumpkin Senkos were the favorites. Striper ate cut baits in 25 to 50 feet of water with the Ski arm producing the best. Anglers also trolled flies and big swimbaits to fool some impressive striper, and magnum sized topwater lures fooled jailbirds after recent trout plants. Trout anglers fooled fish with minijigs, dough bait, and Pinched Crawlers near the marina, but anglers have reported catching bigger rainbows in the backs of coves all over the lake. Castaic was stocked with trout on Wednesday. Catfish ate chicken liver, dip bait, and cut sardines throughout the lake.
